Altair Astro :: Solarscope Hydrogen Alpha telescopes

Printable version

Solarscope is a premier manufacturer of Hydrogen Alpha telescopes for solar observing. The optical quality of Solarscope Etalon filters is unsurpassed. Contrast is the main criteria by which all solar telescopes are judged. Solarscope products do not have a central obstruction, resulting in higher contrast, and the optical components are polished to incredible accuracies, then dielectrically hard-coated. The result is an amazing level of contrast, revealing fine filaments in solar prominences and the structure of solar flares, as well as granulation and darker features around sunspots on the disk of the sun. The sun becomes an ever changing visual treat, with these highly portable solar telescopes, with features evolving as you watch.
